Personal/Home Office Shredders

When purchasing a paper shredder, the level of security you need is a critical factor. For highly sensitive documents, choose a micro-cut model, which cuts a standard page into approximately 3000 pieces. Cross-cut models, on the other hand, cut a standard piece of paper into about 400 rectangles, and is best suited for shredding documents that are not highly sensitive.

Size and safety are also important factors in finding the best paper shredder for your needs. Many are made with angled feed entry so you can safely dispose of your documents without having to worry about injuring your hands or fingers. Most personal paper shredders are also lightweight and come equipped with wheels, so they are easily portable. Security should play an important role in determining which small paper shredder you want to buy. High level security features on most models will prevent anyone from using your shredder if they’re not authorized.

To find the best paper shredder for your personal and home office use, consider the amount of space it takes, shredding speed, and number of pages it can shred at once. Noise level and safety features are also important to consider, including auto shut-off, overheating and paper jam prevention, continuous run time, number of minutes off for cool down, and energy savings mode.
